We are building ourselves a Puma

“What, you can build weapons with a 3D printer?” “Yes, my child, some even build tanks with it…” – Well, it’s not that bad and dangerous, but it can be quite fun. Enjoy. We are, for example, fans of the Puma infantry fighting vehicle of the German Bundeswehr, and a model would have delighted our hearts, but so far none has really tempted us. 

This one is very enticing, and we will implement it. It has three advantages: it is in the super cool scale of 1/16, which can successfully conquer a desk. The model is also not a plastic kit in a box, but can be PURCHASED HERE as 3D printing files for a reasonable 20 euros. This guarantees play and fun with your 3D printer, which wants to work anyway. (If you don’t have a printer, the kit is also available fully printed for 259 dollars on eBay.) Last but not least: you can simply print this Puma and make a display model out of it – or you treat yourself to the electronics from a Heng Long model tank, battery, and remote control, and you can rumble around with your personal Puma. You shouldn’t try to ride it; that would destroy the 1/16 model. 

For those who want even more Puma and 3D printing: HERE you can find the 30mm Rheinmetall APFSDS ammunition for the PUMA infantry fighting vehicle as a kit for your printer.
